Parsnips 
Maule’s Improved Half-Long 

Parsnips grow best in a loose, rich, deep soil. Sow seed early in the spring in 
rows 2 to 3 ft. apart and cover only ™% in. deep. Since parsnip seed germinates 
slowly it is a good idea to sow a little radish seed in the row to act as a marker 
to permit early cultivation. Thin seedlings to stand 4 to 6 in. apart-in the row. 
A packet will sow about 40 ft. of row; an ounce about 200 ft.; 3 lbs. per acre in 
drills 3 ft. apart. Roots may be stored for winter use, or some may be left in 
the ground all winter for use early next spring.

side roots. They are uniform, and grow toa good length, but not 
too long. Their whiteness is remarkable. This is by far the best 
strain of parsnip for the home garden.
